New guesses must be at least $2.50 away from any prior guess.

Everyone is entitled to one (1) guess revision as long as it is posted in a reply at least 24 hours prior to the eBay auction ending.

Seller Description:  "This is a lot of three Western Electric 499H Push Button Dial Pad that are 3 1/2" long, 2" wide and 2" tall. The keys move freely, are 1/2" round and 1/4" thick and appear to be glass, but I'm not sure. Comes with BELL SYSTEM PRACTICES instructions for adjusting the Keys, dated September 1954, this is a copy of the original document. I have taken pictures of all sides of the Dial Pads to help describe, but please feel free to ask questions. From smoke/pet free home. They will be carefully wrapped and boxed for safe shipping."

This is started as a "special rules" no winner contest, the best guesser will not be included in the CRPF Auction Contest Hall of Fame or be counted in the CRPF Contest Standings as a win. This one is just for fun, the best guesser will take a place in the Special Auction Contest Standings.
